Ah, my home town.
I haven't lived there for twenty years. Couldn't wait to get out. I still go back occasionally as my family still reside there (fuck knows why).

It is a very pretty looking town - the approach by train from the south is, I think, stunning - but the town is, as my erstwhile colleage states, completely spoiled by a high proportion of the natives who wander around with seemingly no ambition to spread their wings and try other towns instead. The insularity of many many of the residents is truly shocking. Imagine a town inhabited by /talkers and you're getting the idea.
